Character count for PS: with or withouth space?

Hey guys, just a quick question.
Currently I am writing my personal statement for postgrad studies. Characters should not exceed 4500. I am almost done and I realise just now that word has two counts of characters: 1. withouth spaces; 2. with spaces

Does the Personal Statement include space counts in the number of characters? or can I ignore spaces?

Don't ignore the spaces, they are counted.
